Three years have passed.
The Gan Kingdom could no longer be defeated, not because it could not defeat the Wei Kingdom, but because every time the Wei Kingdom reached its limit, a batch of supplies would be airdropped.
It either originated from the State of Li or the State of Chu.
Both Gan and Wei countries feel exhausted.
All the wealth accumulated by the Wei State through reforms was used to fight the war.
The State of Gan was suffering terribly because of the few poor cities it had snatched from South Korea, but it was unwilling to give up the eastern gate it had captured with great difficulty, so it had to drag it out.
certainly.
What they feared the most was Ji Dong who was standing beside them.
During these three years, the coalition forces of Wu and Yan were incredibly powerful and beat Qi so hard that it cried out in despair and asked Chu for help several times.
Mi Xingli not only ignored the situation, but also reclaimed large areas of wasteland in several cities of Chu State close to Qi State, and promised that all those entering Chu State would be Chu citizens. She lured over the overwhelmed Qi people in wave after wave, making the Qi court miserable.
After the deadline for Chu not to attack Qi passed, they even secretly threatened and bribed the generals defending several cities in Qi.
Several cities of Qi were successively incorporated into Chu under a changed name.
After Mi Xingli took over these cities, he immediately mobilized craftsmen from all over the country and arranged all the treatment for the border cities.
Pour concrete and stockpile troops.
Looking across the Central Plains.
Li Chu developed while taking advantage of the situation, and the national strength became stronger and stronger.
The alliance under Ji Dong continued to expand, and Qi was beaten to a state where it was barely surviving, and its situation was not much better than that of Han. Yan's intention to surrender was becoming increasingly obvious.
On the other hand, Gan and Wei were both wasting their time and felt very uncomfortable.
In the end, under the leadership of Li State, Gan, Wei and Han signed a ceasefire agreement and went to recuperate.
…
"Asshole!"
"Asshole!"
The dry palace.
Great court meeting.
Ying Wuque cursed loudly, staring at Gongsun Di with his tiger eyes, puffing his beard and glaring: "You let me lose the city that I conquered with so much effort?"
His voice was filled with anger, and the pseudo-saint's cultivation had not been restrained at all, making all the civil and military officials in the court dare not say a word.
This King Gan has been on the throne for some years. After taking office, he has been arbitrary and autocratic, and always has the final say.
Few people dare to oppose any decision he makes.
Because several people who opposed it have been beheaded.
Now, hearing him get angry, everyone lowered their eyes, not daring to speak.
The entire court.
There should be only one person left who dares to openly oppose Ying Wuque.
Gongsun Di stepped forward and said, "Yes! Your Majesty, those Han cities..."
Ying Wuque interrupted unhappily, "What Hancheng? That's Gancheng!"
"Let's just count it as a stronghold!"
Gongsun Di took a deep breath and said, "Those cities have long been hollowed out by the State of Li. Coupled with the constant wars, not only are they unable to generate financial income for Dagan, but they have also created a considerable burden!
Now our Da Gan is facing the problem of financial deficit, and Ji Dong is even more ambitious. If we continue to waste time, we will sooner or later follow in the footsteps of Qi.
We should shrink our defenses, follow Li Chu's example, and rely on agriculture to support our people..."
"How dare you! Dagan has strong soldiers and horses. How can Qi be compared with Dagan?"
Ying Wuque asked sternly, "Why? Do you think I can't even defeat Jidong if I lead the army in person?"
As soon as these words came out.
Gongsun Di's face was a little ugly: "Your Majesty! I have no such intention. Your Majesty has unparalleled cultivation. It is impossible for you to stop Ji Dong by incarnating yourself to fight. But if you win, then what?
As long as Ji Dong deploys troops on the border, we will have to keep fighting.
If there is a vast expanse of dry land behind you, you will still have some confidence.
But the few cities snatched from South Korea are not stable enough in themselves. Continuing to defend them would be a waste of national strength!
After all, if we work hard now, we won’t be able to make as much profit as the Jade Soap Factory!”
"Jade Soap Factory, Jade Soap Factory! Without the Jade Soap Factory, can such a huge country like ours not be able to function?"
When Ying Wuque thought that the Jade Soap Factory belonged to Ying Wuji, he felt a little stressed.
Do I have to live under Ying Wuji's shadow for the rest of my life?
He said angrily: "These cities were conquered by me with great effort, but now you want me to abandon them! You who claim to be capable ministers have not conquered a single city for me, but have hindered me everywhere. What use do I have for you people?
Don't mention it again at this time. These cities have long been part of the territories of other countries. I will never abandon them!
If anyone again demands that I cede land to him, he is a thief of my country!"
Stealing a country?
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment; this was a really serious charge.
Immediately, a civil official whispered, "Master Gongsun, just forget it..."
"Humph! How can we just let it go when it concerns the country?"
Gongsun Di had a resolute expression and said in a loud voice: "Everyone! We are loyal ministers. If we watch the king go astray without stopping him because we are afraid of his majesty, what is the difference between us and the corrupt ministers who ruin our country?"
The ministers' expressions were slightly moved: "This..."
Gongsun Di took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I ask you to abandon the city, defend the northwest, and restore the country's strength!"
After these words were spoken, the court fell into a brief silence.
finally.
The first civil official followed up and said, "I second the motion!"
With the beginning, a large number of capable officials came forward immediately.
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
…
Looking at this dark crowd, there are many team members left for him by Ying Yue.
Ying Wuque was furious and could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart: "This is outrageous! Come, take Gongsun Di, this corrupt official who is causing chaos among the people, and chop him off!"
The palace guards stepped forward immediately.
Gongsun Di just looked at him quietly, with no intention of retreating at all.
